What is the association between the age and the value of the computer?
A.
There is a negative linear association.

B.
There is a positive linear association.

C.
There is a nonlinear association.

D.
There is no association.

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
